Always bewilders me as I end up putting all the omeprazole together in one bottle, anyway. I asked my Doctor this the other day and he was stumped. Just seems like a waste of plastic and shelf place.

It’s bizarre reading this as a non-American, because in Europe and Australia all medicines come in blister packs. The only thing that comes in bottles are herbal / dietary supplements. The idea of a bottle of pills that you can tip back and swallow and overdose is something we only see in American media.
